What makes you think people don't think? The people here most certainly do think. Do a search in the archives for "ethanol" (without the quotes) and see what you find. Well, here's what you'll find: http://archive.nnytech.net/index.php?keywords=ethanol&list=biofuel - 3,950 messages dealing with ethanol, and another 560 here: http://archive.nnytech.net/index.php?keywords=ethanol&list=biofuels-biz If you explore the other link at the end of every message you receive, this one: > > Biofuel at Journey to Forever: > > http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html ... you'll find a whole ethanol section: http://journeytoforever.org/ethanol.html Ethanol http://journeytoforever.org/ethanol_link.html Ethanol resources on the Web ... as well as a lot of hands-on fuel ethanol information here: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel_library.html Biofuels Library - Journey to Forever ... including two ethanol fuel manuals, full-text online, and quite a few still designs. All that said, more discussion on fuel ethanol is welcome. Do you make and use fuel ethanol?

There are some reasons for that: 1) I doubt many would agree that ethanol is easier to make "from scratch" than biodiesel, and in useful quantities as fuel. 2) Diesels are more economical than spark-ignition engines, more efficient, and, indeed, cleaner. 3) There are some disadvantages to using fuel ethanol in a gasoline motor that biodiesel in a diesel doesn't share: (a) You need to modify the motor for ethanol use, enlarging the main jet, which means you can't simply switch back to gasoline without replacing the original jet, and computerised fuel systems are more complex; blending fuel ethanol with gasoline means the ethanol must be anhydrous, which is troublesome. With a diesel, you can switch between biodiesel and dinodiesel or use any combination without having to do anything. (b) Ethanol is rather corrosive (though not as corrosive as methanol), and engines have to be specially protected if they're to last without damage; there is no such issue with biodiesel.
